Peru: Pontificia Universidad Católica

It is with great pleasure that we would like to present the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Peru's Field School Program, a project created and developed by our university which is now entering its seventh year.

In these six seasons The Field School Program has received more than 150 students, increasing each year the number of participants.

The Field School Program provides students with the opportunity to carry out practical work in research projects which are directed by some of our most prestigious faculty members.

Students will also have the opportunity to interact directly with inhabitants of local communities during hands-on field work.

We sincerely hope that our institutions may become partners in order to promote academic mobility among our students.

We believe that the Field School Program is an innovative and creative way of providing monetary resources for research projects and field work executed by local and foreign professors alongside young researchers.

An international partnership between scholars at Stanford University (USA) and Durham University (UK) is accepting application for participants who will spend 4 weeks excavating, processing artifacts, and visiting key archaeological sites in this area of the Hadrian’s Wall frontier zone.

The Binchester Roman Town Excavation Project is excavating the fort and expansive town near Durham, located in one of the richest archaeological landscapes in the world.

The cost of $ 4,000 (USD) covers housing in the medieval town of Durham, all meals, archaeological instruction, and weekend field trips. Flights and travel to Durham are not included. Academic accreditation is possible (contact us for details).

The UCSD Archaeological Field School in Peru

We are pleased to announce this year's UCSD archaeological field school in Peru. The field school is a four week hands-on field training program, where students participate in an international research project. Students register for ANAR 119s, the 8 credit core course, and may take an optional 4 credit additional course. This year the field school will be offered in the second summer session (Aug 2 - 28).

This year, we plan to excavate at the Omo site, in Moquegua Peru. Omo is the largest site of the Tiwanaku culture (AD 500-1000) known outside of the altiplano region and the only one with a sunken court temple.
